Sussie Part-1
Sussie used to be strong coffee
Now, she’s just the steam
Sussie used to share the sleeping
Now, she’s just the dream
Just the dream, just a dream I had.
Just a dream, just a dream I had.
Sussie used to be the anchor
Left me with a chain
Sussie used to be the weather
Now she’s just the rain
Just the rain, in this dream I had
Just the rain, in this dream I had
La, la, la, la, la-la
O lah-di lah-di lay,
La-di la-di la
Who would ever walk away
From a dream, from a dream they had?
Walk away, from a dream they had
Sussie used to be strong coffee
Now, she’s just the steam
Sussie used to share the sleeping
Now, she’s just the dream
Just a dream, just a dream I had.

He's one of the most fascinating voices I heard in 2009. His songs brought me a sense of belonging. While listening to his songs, I felt the urge to dance, to cry, to be loved, to love someone. I lost myself in the happiness of encountering wild beauty. Then his songs made me think. Why would someone give up on a dream?
Why?
Maybe because the effort to make that dream come true is not worth it. Maybe because people get tired and they don't believe anymore. They lose their faith. Their heart is broken and cannot be fixed.
This week I went to a class on Ethics and I felt so excited. It was an excellent class. Lots of quotes from Ancient Greek philosophers, which I find fascinating. One of the things the teacher said that I found so true was that he considered life to be a juggling game. Rubber balls bounce back if he drops them: those are things he has, his job etc. His family and loved ones are represented by crystall balls. If he drops them, in one second, everything is going to be lost. You cannot put crystal back together. It would never be the same. It's very sad to find that, the more you live, the most you love someone, the less you'll be a crystal ball. So, why would someone give up on their dreams? Because even if that dream came true, it wouldn't compensate for the pain of realizing that you're just a rubber ball.
